　　So often our needs are defined by things that don't get us much：the comfort of having lots of stuff, the image we want to portray, the social pressure to appear to be rich, the fantastic idea of having something new for its own sake, like a new car or new TV or the latest fashion．For years, we have spoken to our customers about the difference between fashion and style．We've tried our best to encourage style and reinforce the concept that style isn't fashion．It comes from your imagination and is developed slowly．It's re-lection of your values．

　　Today, more than ever, the direction of an environmentally conscious style is not to have luxury or conspicuous(炫耀的)consumption written all over your clothes．This is still our message．We believe this could be best achieved by simply asking yourself before you buy something(from us or any other company)whether this is something you really need．It could be you'll buy more or less from us, but only what you need．We'll be happy to adjust our business up or down accordingly, because we'll feel we are then contributing to a healthier attitude about consumption．We know this is an opinion against the growth of economy, but frankly, if this kind of thinking doesn't catch on quickly, we, like a plague of locusts, will swallow all that's left of the planet．We could make the decision to reduce our consumption, or the decision will soon be made for us．

　　We are optimistic that we can change course and avoid the disastrous destination toward which we're heading．We also believe that there are many events occurring throughout the world right now which support this outlook．We've experienced big changes in people's attitudes about some extremely important philosophical issues and values．

　　Our purchasing habits have enormous influence．By changing the things that make us happy and buying less stuff, we can reduce the terrible impact we have been placing on the environment．We can buy for vital needs, not silly self-satisfying needs．We do need clothes, yes, but so many?

　　While we' re advocating responsible consumption, we want to suggest one more idea．What you save, if you do, through changing your purchasing habits, contributes to one of the thousands of social and environmental organizations that are working to correct, repair, preserve or halt the damage to which our consumptive ways and economic system have led us．

　　We all have to work together to preserve the continuity of natural cycles and processes．If we don't, we'll have no inheritance to give to our grandchildren．All will be gone．Our place in history will be that of the greatest mismanagers of the tarth, not such a loving way to be remembered!

In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium?sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.?
“We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We’ re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”?
Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog’s food takes about 0.84 hectares — or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.?
Convincing flesh?eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non?starter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.?
The book’s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.?
Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet’s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said.?
“Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.?
“It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”?
56. The authors gave their book the playful title to________.?
A. make it amusing                    B. create a vivid image?
C. show　writing skills                 D. arouse people’ s concern
57. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.?
A. the amount of consumed land ?
B. the neglected ecological impact?
C. some familiar examples ?
D. some actual figures?
58. What does “sustainability” mean according to the passage??
A. Going vegetarian. ?
B. Raising cats and dogs.?
C. Using a cloth bag. ?
D. Keeping a greener life.?
59. Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals??
A. Manufacturers.                  B. Drivers. ?
C. Animal fans.                     D. The authorities.?
60. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life??
A. Challenging.          B. Inspiring.          C. Inviting.         D. Touching.

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms. Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb，you need special shoes and a harness (保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the next piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you，and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb，both your mind and your body can become stronger.
【小题1】What can we infer from the passage?

A．People are fairly interested in climbing nowadays.

B．It is impossible to build up one’s body by climbing.

C．People can only learn the skill of climbing outdoors.

D．It is always easy to see holding places in climbing.

【小题2】The most difficult thing to do in wall climbing is________.

A．to tie ropes to your harness	B．to control your fear
C．to move away from the wall	D．to climb straight up

【小题3】The word “workout” underlined in the last paragraph most probably means________.

【小题4】Why does the author write this passage?

A．To tell people where to find gyms.

B．To prove the basic need for climbing.

C．To encourage people to climb mountains.

D．To introduce the sport of wall climbing.

There are hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. And it’s a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.
But eventually, kids grow up and become teens. It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it.
In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions.
It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.
【小题1】Why do parents always want to control their children?

A．They are afraid to lose their children.

B．They want to protect their children.

C．They don’t believe the ability of their children.

D．They can’t accept their children are growing.

【小题2】 What does the underlined word “lessen” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
